Re: Error code?

I had a coil fail many years ago but it did give an error that time. But I suppose it depends if it's on the low or high voltage side as I assume the ecu can only detect a low voltage side problem. I used a Suzuki coil easier to get hold of just make sure ht lead is long enough.

Re: Chain/Swingarm Buffer....

Don't know if this will help but I once did a Suzuki with knackered damper, and I used rubber tube sections squashed into it. As I say can't remember exactly what the rap one looks like so this maybe a non starter

Re: Rear shock

It could be damping maybe not enough rebound. I hit a bump hard whilst Coming up to a corner it ejected me skywards but then I had to get hard on the brakes for the corner and whacked my bollocks hard against the tank. I had to slow to a crawl due to the discomfort. It's a bit better now but still n...

Re: Rear shock

It's got 100/175 on the spring but I specified weight aswell . A couple of times I hit a bump and wallop and I'm not sure my kidneys can take anymore. I have backed it off until there is no preload with the bike lifted off the floor but it is still too hard. The shock is new but about a year old as ...

Re: Wannabe in Norfolk

I went for a run with some mates a fortnight ago around Alston area and coming into a corner hit a bump my arse left the seat but had to get ...
